We are more than an organization, we are a community. We believe that everyone in our community has the power to create positive change and we are committed to doing it together.

Our Story
In 2019, we came together as a group of friends in hopes of creating positive change in our community. We founded A Ti’a Matairea on the principles of respect for each other and love for our fenua and all its inhabitants. We are proud of our values of inclusion, respect and solidarity which guide each of our actions. We believe in kindness, positivity, listening and continuous learning. Our strength lies in the bonds formed within our team, united in the fight for a shared vision of a healthier, happier and safer future for our island.
